"The kids run it themselves. I monitor them and maybe give them a little guidance but other than that they've been running the program," she said.

Just like in a typical newsroom, there's a lot more to it than the anchors on the set. That's something 8th grader Lindsey Horton realized right away.

"I thought everyone just came in and did it but there' s bunch of stuff between everyone getting the stories and the editing and then filming itself is really hard. Being a teenager and having to say everything but I love it. It's very interesting," Lindsey Horton said.

The students use computers with a non-linear editing program and software that gives them a lot of technical options.

Lindsey said, "We added a green screen into our filming room so instead of making our own backgrounds we've improved it dramatically so we just move our green screen to put whatever we want."

Noah Smith uses the green screen for his weather forecast.

He gestured to the blank green wall and said, "It will start to cool down as we start into next week with highs in the upper 60s."
